Reflections and spatial fields in the Barcelona Pavilion

The below diagrams are a taxonomic series in which we apply the methods described here and the spatial classifications described here to a plan analysis of Mies Van Der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion. Interpretation of these results is ongoing and discursive annotations will be added in due course.

The mappings above were produced using a methodology established in the context of a research project on Dynamic Three Dimensional Space Syntax Modelling directed by Sophia Psarra at UCL. The project was supported by the UCL Space Group EPSRC platform grant EP/G02619X/1 (P7726).
